Chapter 4 Not improving

" Dear George, you know I am already yours --"

" Cut it! "He banged the table. " I wasn't talking about you." Her red face drained at his word of scold.

" But you asked how you can win me. " Delilah became puzzled.

" As a woman how can a man win you." He asked. Delilah became more confused, she couldn't think of what the magistrate have in mind.

" George you don't like me anymore, are you planning on giving me away. " She wailed.

" I am. not giving you away, you are my wife forever. I can see you won't answer my question. " Delilah quickly wiped her dry face. She cleared her throat. " Rich and handsome, attention, love, understanding, who gives me gifts.... Cares for... think of.... " She beamed while listing them thinking of George Lockwood doing these for her.

' Don't I give her enough attention ' He muttered.

" Did you say something. " Delilah said.

" Delilah, how do I look in terms of looks. " Delilah walked to a nearby wooden chair to sit while swaying her waist.

" Good. " Thinking of his question, George wasn't that good looking like the men she knew but he wasn't a youngster either. Delilah to was in her late thirties. The first wife Marianne was in her late forties. Vanessa the third wife in her late thirties. Bradley the fourth wife was in her mid or early twenties while the fifth wife was in her nineteen. " You are one of the good looking man I know. "

" I was wondering if I have aged a little. " He said with a frown. Delilah could have burst into laughter if not of a sole reason. " No not at all, you have no wrinkles, neither do you have grey hairs. " Delilah what have you come here for. " He asked thinking of the three grey hair he saw in his head.

Delilah blinked ever so seductively, " Dear George. " She faked a soft voice.

" Delilah you know I have given only one person the privilege to call me that. " George Lockwood said. The smile remaining at Delilah face fell and she quickly schooled it.

" A letter was sent to the mansion, I didn't wanted to read them. but seeing my brother name written on it I couldn't help myself." She walked to the man and handed him a letter.

George went through it and instantly his mood elevated. " I can't believe he invited us on a dinner in his mansion! that is excellent did he tell you why. "

" No he didn't. "

" But what about the monsters outside, it will be really tough to move outside without meeting the eyes of the monsters. "

" Up till now, the servants have been moving out to buy stocks with the huge square container. We just have to get in there and have the horses ride us. it will be tricky but worth trying. " Delilah said.

" I think so, being married to you have gain me a lot of reputation. Make sure to feed the duke about how good I treat you besides he is your brother." Delilah blushed. She have been indeed been treated good but she wasn't given enough attention, love or understanding but he never hit or scold her much like the other wives of him.

" I won a fight today against Olivia in the training room. " Delilah stood up seeing the man looking back at the parchment he was holding. Instead of her to walk to the door she walked to where he was sitting, secretly leaning she pecked his cheek.

He shut his eyes and tell her to leave. When she was almost about to leave. " What flower does Olivia like. " He asked. Now everything dawned to her why George had asked her the question. He has had the intent of winning the young woman all the while.

" I don't know. " She bent her head slightly leaving with a sour mood. She wondered what the young woman had that she doesn't have, when it was quite obvious.

After breakfast with the other women of the Magistrate, Olivia went back to spending time with the old woman. When it was reaching twilight she retrieved.

" Lady Olivia will you like to fresh up now. I have prepared your bath. " Luna appeared by her side.

" I will have my bath now. " She said. Although she has rejected Luna from assisting her in the bath, she was accompanied by Luna. On reaching her room she pulled the knob to only find George sitting there patiently.

" Luna you can come see me later. " She said making the young maid bow before leaving. Olivia entered the room.

" Greetings dear George. " She curtsied. He patted a space in the mattress for her to sit. She silently sat beside him where he had patted, while wondering why he has come.

" The duke invited me to his mansion. " He paused, glancing at her. " I will be taking Delilah with and won't be able to take you with. Delilah is the DUKE brother, he will only want his sister at my side while we visit. " George said.

" I don't mind..dear George, I wish you safe journey with Lady Olivia. " The magistrate eyes softened at the beautiful woman. He extended his hand at the tiny sleeve, off shouldered dress, he tucked it up. " Don't you think your neckline are a little to deep today." Olivia eyes fell on her chest to see her cleavage which the dress had exposed. She moved back to stop George from trying to touch her shoulder. " I didn't notice that. " George eyes bored into her cleavage which made her uncomfortable. She wanted to shout. ' Stop staring!'

" Have you yet unlocked your powers. " He asked knowing the answer. " I heard Delilah won a fight over you."

Olivia stood taking the silver mug to fill in with water from the jug. She gulped in the water. She also brought some for George. " You heard right. "

" When are you going to improve already, you are my favorite wife yet I can't take you everywhere. "

" I am improving. " She stated.

" You are not. "

" George I am improving. "

He cursed under his breath, he can't seem to digest it when Olivia talked back at him or call him plainly by George. Impulsively he pulled her hair at the back of her hair. She yelped in pain. " Ahh! " He liked her voice. Her moans turns him on. Before he even noticed he pushed her head, kissing her fiercely.

When he pulled the strap of her dress, he heard her crying but he didn't care she cried every time he wants to touch her. He gripped her hand pinning it above her head. " You are hurting my hand George, I have I wound. Please stop. " Olivia cried.

" if I get my first power I promise to teach you a lesson. " Olivia said but the man didn't change his mind but became more angrier. He slapped her face to keep her from talking. He slapped her other face again.
